WANTED A MAN TO "SIT WITH SAL."
Yesterday a green'looking couple, evidently newly married, called at a ■ photograph gallery and wanted their, pictures taken. Just as the operator had got his plate ready the man called him. aside and said he wanted to ask a favor.. 'VI was told in Carson that you took the best pictures in the State. Now you see Sal and me got hitched down there last Monday; now'her folks go a"good deal on style, and they; live 1 m the States. They,never saw me, and if,l send my mug back East they'll be dead agin me sure. I'm a darned sight better than I look, and when folks know zae. they vote me a brick. Now, what I want is to get some good-looking:fellow to:sit with Sal for a picture. . Will youstand jn ?,\ jShe'a willin'. Them big side whiskers of yours will catch 'em sure and create harmony. You look like ; a^ solid capitalist,- 1 while they'd take me for,a petty-larceny thief.". The photographer enjoyed the idea immensely, and sat with " Sal V for 'the pictare, which will doubtless, carjy jiy into the household of the .Eastern relatives in' a week or so.—Virginia Chronicle, Mar 26.
